I'm 17 and just got my body fat measured at 26%. 6'1 and 208lbs. This may be an inaccurate % because I think i'm at 20% body fat but I still feel too fat. I want to start cutting but everyone says it is bad to cut as a teen because it affects hormone levels and overall growth (height etc.) should I cut since I'm fat or should I maintain like everybody recommends and hope I grow taller or that my fat turns into muscle from weightlifting like people are recommending? Thanks
